( ) Young readers discover the breathtaking beauty of both the moon and of the earth as they take an imaginary trip to the moon. With captivating pictures and elegant, informative prose, readers both young and old will happily embark on a rocket flight hurling them into an exciting space adventure. Highly recommended. This book allows students to take an imaginary journey to the moon. It provides factual information about space travel without being too information and fact heavy. I think children would really enjoy reading this book in the classroom, so I will be sure to use it in my future classroom. This and the biography on Neil Armstrong would go great together. no reviews | add a review

Written in the second person, the text allows the reader to participate in every aspect of the journey, from packing ("don't forget your diary and plenty of food") to liftoff (at first you'll feel heavy; don't worry") to traveling thorugh space (where "the moon glows like a pearl in the black, black sky"). The reader lands at the Sea of Tranquility, the site of the first lunar landing. No library descriptions found. |
